(±)-11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC(CAT: R066842) is a major inactive metabolite of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. This metabolite is formed in the liver following the oxidation of 11-hydroxy-Δ9-THC, the active form of THC, and is excreted in the urine. Due to its long half-life in the body, (±)-11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC is commonly used as a biomarker in drug testing to detect past cannabis use. The compound is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC, but its presence in the body can indicate cannabis consumption even after the effects have worn off. It is widely studied in toxicology and forensic science, particularly in the context of legal and clinical testing.
